Netballers sought for districts

Netball Inter-District Netball is back for 2018 with trials being held next Sunday.

Players can enter into four age groups categories - mixed under 12s, girls 13-14 years, girls 15-16 years and a women's open team for 17 years and over.

This is the first year netball is looking to form an adult team to play in districts as well.

Last year saw Stanthorpe Netball re-enter the Darling Downs inter-district Netball competition for the first time in around 20 years.

The teams all play in the same division to start off before being graded into two divisions. Although having some netball experience is preferred, anyone of any skill level is welcome to try-out for the teams.

Representative coordinator Bernadette Brunckhorst said the district competition was a great way for the teams to gain experience playing with and against other girls their own age.

She said the main appeal to try-out for the team was for the girls to improve their own skills and knowledge of the game.
